Why won’t the image disappear in google search?

[Anonymous]

I deleted a photo of colleague from my website - and yet it still displays when a generic google search is carried out.
(1) Why? (2) How can I get it to permanently disappear?

The reason the photo still appears in a Google search could be because Google has not yet crawled your website to update its information or because the photo has been cached by Google and appears in search results as a result.

To speed up the process of updating the search results and getting the deleted photo permanently removed, you can follow these steps:



1. Go to Google Search Console and submit the URL of the deleted photo to be removed from the search results. You can do this through the "Remove outdated content" tool.


2. Request removal of the image from Google's cache by following the steps provided on this page: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/removals


3. Wait for a few days or weeks for the changes to take effect.


It's also worth noting that while Google may remove the image from search results, it may still be available on other websites if it was shared or downloaded by others.
